Hilarious Video: Cyclist Fleeing Houston Police Goes Mega-Viral

Well, folks, here's something you don't see every day...

A video of a man fleeing Houston police on a bike, driving against traffic flow, and cutting between cars, went viral on Facebook. The original post, uploaded 7 days ago, has already been viewed 5 million times. Holy moly.

Since this morning was my first time to see it, I figured there were a few stragglers out there who missed it too. You guys are welcome. Just looking out for ya...

Take a peek at the video below...

I guess if I was trying to run from the cops on a bike, driving through oncoming traffic would probably be a pretty solid plan. Hopefully, I never find myself in that kind of situation because I'm WAY out of shape. I don't think I have the stamina to ride like the wind. This guy almost looks casual about the entire situation.

Houston isn't the only place known for wild crime. We've got some pretty bold criminals in Lubbock too. From serial tab-walkers, to ratchet-ass car thieves, and everything in between, there's never a dull moment around these parts. I mean, we do have the highest crime rate in Texas right now. It looks like Houston is trying to give us a run for our money.

We can't let them win, guys. I'm expecting some solid videos in my inbox from the 806 by tomorrow morning. Ha.
